The thirteenth day of the flight.

On an asteroid, Susha meets Silent Xia.

The two are in a very bad condition and have not been out of danger.

The entire galaxy is locked down, no matter which way you run, it's useless, it's only a matter of time before you get caught.

Unsurprisingly, just two days later, they were in a critical situation.

The overwhelming starry warships have reappeared.

At the critical moment, Silent Xia, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Su Xia, take out the boundary search and let me touch it." ”

"Good!"

Su Xia did not hesitate and immediately took out the boundary seeking machine.

In the months before, they had speculated.

If Cowboy Summer or Silent Summer were to touch the Worldfinder Machine, would they return to their original world?

After all, Cowboy Summer and Silent Summer have both completed their mission, and it stands to reason that they should go back.

It's just that everyone is not absolutely sure, so they did not act.

But now I can't think about it!

Silent Xia reached out and pressed the boundary seeking machine.

In the next moment, the entire machine erupted with a terrifying white light, and the dazzling light enveloped the bodies of the two people.

When the light dissipated, both Susha vanished, and the Boundary Seeking Machine disappeared as well, as if they had never existed.

Seeing this scene, many starship commanders of the forces of destruction couldn't sit still.

"What about people?"

"Damn, they must be hiding!"

"Keep looking, even if you turn this star field over and break everything, you have to find them!"

After this day, the destructive forces in the starry sky seemed to have gone mad, and began to search for the Boundary Seeking Machine at all costs.

……

The words are divided into two ends.

Su Xia and Silent Xia are in a very special world at the moment.

At that time, the Boundary Seeking Machine erupted with white light, enveloping the two of them.

Both of them were shielded from their five senses for a moment, their eyes could not see, their ears could not hear, as if everything around them had disappeared.

This state lasted for more than ten seconds.

The moment he regained his senses, a huge sense of crisis suddenly enveloped Su Xia's body.

Without even thinking about it, he immediately activated the psionic shield.

The next moment, a hoarse roar reached his ears.

"Roar—"

A terrifying figure lunged up, frantically slapping on his psionic shield.

Su Xia took a step back.

As soon as he looked at it, a hint of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"Zombies?"

Ahead, the one who was frantically biting his psionic shield was a zombie-like creature.

The creature was dressed in tattered clothes, with dried blood and stains, hair like withered grass, an abominable face, horrible eyes, hoarse roars from time to time, and traces of blood on the rotten corners of the mouth.

His appearance is very similar to the zombies in many literary and artistic works.

Su Xia never imagined that he would actually see such a creature in reality.

At the moment, he was on a long street in tatters.

The sky was overcast, the light was dim, the shops on both sides of the long street were all dilapidated, the roads were overgrown with weeds, the streets were full of rotten cars, and the whole world was full of death.

Around Susha, there were all kinds of roaring zombie creatures.

"What kind of world is this?" Su Xia couldn't help but wonder, where did the Boundary Seeking Machine take him?

"This is my world."

A voice came.

It's silent summer.

He was not far away, he still looked expressionless, and he was not surprised by the zombies around him, as if he had long been used to it.

He bent down and picked up a metal rod and slammed it into it, shattering the head of a zombie in front of him.

"The head, heart, and spine are their weaknesses, and their bodies are not much different from ordinary people, just think of them as crazy."

Silent Xia walked towards Su Xia and indifferently wiped the blood stains on the metal rod.

After approaching, he looked at the sky and said to Su Xia, "It's getting dark, find a safe place first, there will be a wave of corpses at night." ”

"Good!"

The two converged and began to kill, forcing themselves to kill a bloody way in the zombie crowd on the street.

After this battle, Su Xia also noticed.

The zombies in this world are still different from those in movies and TV series.

In many movies and TV series, zombie monsters seem to be unkillable, even if they are rotten, hit by bullets, disemboweled, and even have only one head left, they can still scream.

But the zombies of this world are very fragile, and a single bullet can kill them.

Silent Xia was right.

The bodies of these monsters are not much different from ordinary people.

They're not even monsters, they're more like aggressive lunatics who have escaped from a mental hospital.

Before dark, the two entered a relatively closed building.

They had a reasonably safe night.

After the exchange, Su Xia learned that three years ago, this world was not like this.

It all happened on that night three years ago.

That night, it was reported on the news that there had been an accident in a biological laboratory and that a virus codenamed "X" could have leaked.

Just seven days later, a crisis erupted in the city where the biolab was located.

Half a year after that, twenty-eight weeks to be exact, the world fell.

This world has become what Su Xia sees now.

At the time, Silent Xia had just entered her sophomore year.

"Calculate the time, it's time for me to graduate."

Silent Xia looked indifferent, as if there would never be another expression on his face, as if he was numb.

After dawn, the two left the building.

After five days, under the leadership of Silent Xia, the two walked to the edge of the city.

It's an abandoned area of villas, formerly a place for the wealthy, but now it's empty.

They stayed one night in one of the villas.

The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, Silent Xia handed Su Xia a map.

"Suxia, keep walking, there is an oasis in front of you, there is an island in the middle of the lake in the oasis, the island is safe, you can repair there."

He spoke indifferently, pointing in the direction of the dawn.

Su Xia took the map, looked at him and asked, "You don't want to go with me?" ”

"Nope."

Silent Xia shook his head, rolled up his sleeves, and showed Su Xia his arm.

On the arm, there was a shocking wound that had not healed, and the surrounding skin had turned black and purple.

He's hurt, and the virus is eating away at his body.

"When?" Su Xia frowned and asked.

"On the first day, when I returned." Silent Xia lowered his sleeves, "This virus will be incubated for seven days, and today is the last day. ”

"I have some potions here, which should be suppressed."

"No need."

Silent Xia rejected Susha's potion.

"Suxia, I wish you success."

He glanced at Su Xia one last time and said a word of blessing.

These were the last words he said to Su Xia.

With that, he put on a worn backpack, turned around, and walked towards the city alone.

Su Xia looked at his back and was silent for a long time.

The two didn't even say goodbye officially.

Silent Xia walked into the group of zombies step by step, and those zombies seemed to treat him as his own kind, and they didn't even attack him.

And so he went farther and farther.

I don't know how long it was, but he walked to a deserted university and stopped.

"Crunch ......"

He pushed open the rotten school gate, stepped on the withered yellow sycamore leaves all over the ground, walked through the familiar campus road, and slowly came to the school's open-air gymnasium.

In the gymnasium, there are several rusty iron cages.

In each cage, there is a zombie alone.

Next to these iron cages, there is an automatic feeding machine, and next to the machine is a mountain of air-dried meat.

Every once in a while, the feeding machine takes a few pieces of dried meat and feeds them to the zombies in the cage.

"It's okay, you're all still there."

Seeing the zombies in the cage, a smile suddenly appeared on Silent Xia's cold face.

The few zombies in the cage were Li Defu and a few of them, as well as the girl named Wang Xiaofan.

Silent Xia put down her backpack and slowly sat down on the ground.

He looked at a few people with a smile, like a wanderer returning home, and under that smile, there was a deep tiredness.

His friendship and love are all here.

"I met another me, you probably won't believe it, he is like the old me......"

He was no longer silent, but spoke to himself, for a long time, as if he wanted to finish all the words of his life.

Time passed slowly, and the shadow of the sun set in the west.

The light on the horizon is about to fade.

The last touch of afterglow slanted in the gymnasium, a warm yellow, warm, just like every dusk in the past.

He glanced at the sky, then took his backpack and pulled out a box of matches

He sat in the warm twilight, lightly striking a match and lighting a wire in front of him.

The wires began to burn rapidly, releasing a pungent smell of gunsmoke.

"It's time to end ...... too"

He threw away the match and shook uncontrollably.

The virus was eating away at his brain, eating away at the last shred of his sanity.

"One last thing."

Struggling to control himself, he shuddered and pulled a small box out of his backpack.

Inside the box, there is a wedding ring.

He got up with difficulty, took out the ring from the box, and staggered towards Wang Xiaofan, the smile on his face became more and more gentle, and the world in front of him gradually blurred......

……

Outside the city, Susha stood on a small hill.

He looked into the distance, his eyes complicated, watching the last rays of light fade.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering explosion in the city, and the flames were rising to the sky and thick smoke billowed to the sky.

The ground shook, and building after building fell, turning to dust in a violent explosion.

Silent Natsu is dead.

He's a man full of stories.

It's just that in the end, he didn't tell his story.

The city collapsed, burying his past.
